 **"Moodle your Noodle--50 FL Possibilities"** <span style="font-family: 'times new roman','new york',times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> You haven't seen Moodle until you've seen this presentation. See 50 ways Moodle can be used for foreign language instruction in the context of a real German 1 and German 2 course (which were developed over the past 5 years with Moodle at its core). This presentation will provide an overview of how Moodle can help with Online Resource Organization, Online Assignments, Online Assessments, Online Grading as well as how it can simulate many language lab capabilities.

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman','new york',times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> **"Video Stream your Daily Instruction"** <span style="font-family: 'times new roman','new york',times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> How do you catch up students who miss your classes? What about if they're out for longer absences? Video streaming and archiving your lessons for live at home viewing or later on demand viewing is a great free tool to use in these circumstances. During this presentation you will learn how simple it can be to stream your classroom directly to the web (without any intermediate steps). All you need is a laptop with a webcam. You will leave this workshop able to do this on Monday.

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman','new york',times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> **"Lord of the Rrrings"** <span style="font-family: 'times new roman','new york',times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal;"> Harness the power of the technology already in your students hands—their cellphones—with great free online tools and a whole new array of assignment options you probably never considered. Create speaking assignments you really care about without any hassles. You will leave this workshop with a free setup you can use with your students on Monday.

Zusätzlich zur Seite für die Jugendlichen gibt es jetzt auch eine Seite speziell für Lehrer und Lehrerinnen, auf der man Ideen für Projekte finden oder Unterrichtsmaterialien mit anderen austauschen kann. Die zwei Webseiten, eine für Lerner und eine für Lehrer, verbinden auf diese Weise soziales Netzwerk, interkulturellen Austausch und kreative Projektarbeit.
